Famous Nic 1k & 3k Review

this is my first review , so bare with me.

i recently recieved a bundle of the famous nic 1ks from FS.com. i got the robusto size since i wasnt too sure if i could finish anything larger.
upon recieving them , i noticed they were a bit stiff, even after being in the coolidor for a week+. that being said , the draw on them was terrible. out of the 3 or 4 i smoked , only one had a nice draw. the rest was so-so at best. while i did pull out a decent smound of smoke , the effort wasnt worth it.
on the one that did smoke good , the taste was great. semi-consistant burn , great draw. overall , very nice smoke. smooth with hint of sweet. maybe they need more time in the coolidor. i still have quite a few more to go through , so it may have been the bad apple/s of the bunch. ill go through a few more , so ill update as i do.

onto the famous nic 3k.
i just got this in a pif from dccraft (thanks again btw!). much better than the 1k in my opinion. very nice , full smoke. smooth 'woodsy' spice taste, almost even burn all the way through. no wonder theyve been on back order for the longest. of the VERY few smokes ive had , it is one of my favs.

both of these have been accompanied by either amber-bock (since corona or heineken rarely goes on sale) or cranberry and vodka.

if there is anything i should elaborate on , please let me know.

Re: Famous Nic 1k & 3k

Nice first review. Pics always help! Sounds like the 1000's need more rest or dry boxing. Try taking one out and putting it in an empty unhumidfied box for a day, then give it a shot.

Im with Bob on this one - try the dry box and post here again, will be interesting to see what you think.
